THE OLDER OMEN


THE OLDER OMEN

teen angst myths,
or mrs. took you away...
I wonder, are you thumbing it today?

well, strolled down the low road to see
a cooling pudding of hot wax and wings
wig, false teeth and mix of other things
hey, seems you and Driving Miss Lazy,
Queen of pretend, have come to an end
on this bend, thanks to that new model,
steel, meant more to you than I ever will
you flew high, in that Icarus automobile.

At 16, there was no way to compete with someone older,
wiser, worldly and handing him the keys to everything.
